Lom- bard school; said to have been a pupil of the Carracci, but his style shows careful study of Correggio, whose works he imi- tated, but without servility. Patronized by Duke Ranuccio of Modena, for whom he painted some admirable pictures. His fres- cos of the History of Coriolanus, in the Pa- lazzo Pubblico, have been called worthy of Correggio. He was an excellent portrait painter, but his favourite subjects were Ma- donnas and Holy Families. He left but few pictures, as he wasted his time in gambling, and his death is said to have been caused by grief at a heavy loss of money.
